Fludarabine Dose Intensity, Lymphodepletion Biology, and Product-Specific Outcomes in Large B-Cell Lymphoma CAR-T Therapy: Interpreting the 2026 EBMT Registry Analysis

By MedXY 06/09/2026

A large EBMT registry study suggests that escalating fludarabine during lymphodepletion does not improve tisagenlecleucel outcomes in LBCL and may worsen survival, while axicabtagene ciloleucel retains superior efficacy at standard dosing but with more neurotoxicity.
